A Simple Technique That Chris Winfield Taught Me To Increase My Traffic

This is part of the behind-the-scenes section of Mixergy, which I call etc.

One of the best things about interviewing marketing experts like Chris Winfield is that sometimes it launches a friendship and I keep learning from them. Chris, who was one of my first interviewees, spent about an hour with me last month showing me smarter ways to promote Mixergy.

I thought I’d share one of the ideas he suggested because it’s dead simple for you to implement if you’re doing interviews and it’s been helping lead more people to my work.

His suggestion

Chris said that after I publish an interview I should ask the interviewee to tweet out a link to the finished program. He also urged me to make it easier  for guests to embed their interviews with a link back to my site.

So here’s the email I send out now after I publish an interview.

Thanks for doing it. Here’s what you can do next:

1) If you want any changes to the text or your picture, tell me.

2) Could you tweet it out to your followers? This should make tweeting easy.

3) You can post the full video on your site:

If you have any feedback on this experience, I’m always eager to listen and improve my work. Let me know.
